This strand will showcase the work of teachers using ICT in Chinese Studies. In a 21st Century classroom, Mandarin teachers are looking for innovative ways to motivate their students to improve their language skills.
How can Mandarin teachers make use of existing/emerging technologies to enrich learning experiences of students? How can students be motivated to acquire a second or third language? What is the impact on teachers and students in an ICT enriched classroom? How can recording multimedia presentations improve language and literacy skills? How can wikis and blogs help students to connect with people outside of their classrooms for the purpose of developing communication skills?
Based on these burning questions, the presentation topics will range from “Teaching Chinese through multimedia filmmaking in secondary classrooms”, “Interactive Chinese teaching in primary classrooms”, to “Global and collaborative learning with native speakers”. The strand will aim at educating, inspiring and challenging participants to explore the potential of ICT to improve Chinese language acquisition. Presenters in this strand have over 10 years of Mandarin teaching experiences and have been actively involved in the integration of ICT. They will provide specific implementation ideas, teaching resources, and interactive whiteboard materials for educators to use in their own classrooms.
